The Agreement

"Follow love and it will flee; flee love and it will follow thee." - Anonymous. When Alma Dawson, a middle-aged, hard-working single mother, sets out to get the tuition money for her daughter's last year of college, she never dreamed her entire world would be turned upside down. A poignant, inspiring story, this novella is a testimony to a devoted mother's love! "This short story is a good read. Business is business and love is love.
This short story takes you on a journey that illustrates that loves trumps business when the time is right. The main character was ahead of her time as she struggled with being a single parent and sending a daughter to college in the 60's. She was a hard worker and she was driven at a time when women had very few options of earning a decent salary. Her love, dedication and determination to ensure that her daughter has tuition for her last year of college landed her into a situation, that would be frowned upon by many during that era, if they had known.
She took a chance, made a huge sacrifice and found independence. She had the courage to be herself in spite of gossip or typical southern Church rules. She rediscovered herself and surprisingly she also experienced a second chance to love and be loved. Two thumbs up for The Agreement!" - Amazon reviewer
